The frame goes in kitset, the grooves in the wood locate around the metal angle frame. With the timber sitting away from the outer sheetmetal. There are screws that go into the vertical pieces from the angle around the belt line and the lip around the top edge of the body to hold it all in place. I ...

That is an interesting one. The wheels look like the accessory Firestone ones that normally use 6 wheel clamp bolts, I have a set on my car. I think I have a fellow like this one with the odd spacings in the shed, I couldn't bear to throw it as it just seemed too unusual I will see if I can get a ph...

I have found them very helpful, first time we broke an axle, it meant we could tow it back home after it snapped a block from home and didn't destroy the guard or bodywork, the second time when a driver hit us side on at 40 km/h after ignoring a stop sign, the axle housing has compressed but we coul...

Have had the joy of working on 2 windshield frames here in the last few years. One was after a glass company removed the glass to replace a cracked screen and all but destroyed the frame ( the glass had been fitted with eurethane previously) I was fortunate to have an extremely patient panelbeater (...

Hi Jim Further to Adrian's photo of the blue tudor, here is one of its stablemates. The blue one had originally been a green colour (still visible under the blue and grey layers) The red one was our choice of colour scheme as it had been painted with a broom when we found the body. Both of these car...

And a few more photos, including some from a local private car collection, quite a few interesting vehicles on display including a very original centre door

Here is a few more pictures from today It was a bit cool and damp for most of the participants, days like today showed the benefits of having a tudor sedan :D It was good to see the freshly completed 20 tourer out with the owner enjoying if after many years preparing the restoration and many late ni...

Hi Luke

Have you been in contact with some of the 'local' t guys?

I'm a bit far away but can ask around if needed
